The beauty of vintage...

The beauty of vintage is that it is has a history, but it can be worn in a new way, the star component of a very fashion forward style sense. Vintage dealers like me crave these timeless pieces of beauty and curate collections that span decades and merge trends.

The best of fashion, the most seductive materials, the exceptional details, the perfect dart and the most exquisite buttons, vintage is easy, sexy sophistication: the woman you can’t take your eyes off at a party whose amazing stories of her past match her fabulous charmeuse dress or killer crocodile heels. She's definitely the one you’ll remember the next morning when you’re recuperating from the bubbly.

In the Pink

For their June 1953 issue, along with an article on "Five Steps to Marriage", Glamour Magazine did a spread on Pink dresses for "the girl-with-a-job." The cover for the spread begins with this dress and reads "A dress that maintains a strawberries-and-cream country freshness through wilting days in town." Doesn't that sound lovely?

 1 of a Find Vintage has this very dress, an adorable pink 1950's shirtwaist dress with rhinestone button details. Come in and check it out!

Maud Frizon: The Original Model Slash Designer

Before Erin Wasson before Alexa Chung there was Maud Frizon. Working as model in the 1960's, she was required to supply her own shoes that complemented the designer's dress. Unable to find any shoes that were up to her standards, she began designing her own and the results were pure genius. Check out our collection below.




Of course we have many more shoes to choose from including a pair of newly arrive AMAZING Omo Norma Komali gold pumps.

Me and My New Boyfriend

I pretty much fell in love with this motorcycle jacket as soon as it came in. It represents the perfect man as a jacket- scruffy, cool, and totally badass. I've styled it here with my favorite flannel, a pair of classic Levis 501s, and reflective aviators.

Come in to meet him!

A Plethora of Patterns

Patterns are an eternal spring trend. One that allows the designers and wearers to express their playful side. Two of my favorites from Spring 2011 were Alexander McQueen and Prada.


 Both designers chose to use a black background for maximum graphic effect. Inspired by these designs, I played around with patterns against black and here are some of the looks.


The key pieces featured here are a Sant Angelo knit Orange and Black column skirt, Kansai Yamomoto Print Soft Blazer, and the Black and Red Sheer Wheat Kimono. Come in to see these pieces and much more!

In the Mood for Spring

Although there are 18 more days to go til' it's official, at 1 of a Find we are ready for spring. The weather gets warmer, the hemlines come up, love is in the air.


To celebrate, we've decorated the store with 2 spring displays. The first one is inspired by cherry blossoms, the first- and most beautiful- sign of greener pastures. It features a mix of pinks, purples, and floral patterns.






 The second is an homage to Bohemian- chic dressing inspired by our Forest green embroidered peasant top. It is grounded in earth tones but also has a playful colors and whimsical accessories.



Come in to 1 of a Find to see all of these gorgeous items!

Eek! A Bug!

Bugs were all over the Lanvin runway last week, in the form of ornate pendants on chokers, belts and cuffs. It got me inspired to do a blog about what possibilities one could entertain with the brooches, earrings and belt buckles we have here at the store.
